Welcome @Andrae S WigginsThere are REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are great - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent. 

Consult with a qualified tax advisor who understands these limitations and can help develop a comprehensive strategy aligned with your specific situation.Remember: The best tax planning looks beyond immediate deductions to your complete financial picture.

Don't split the work between multiple contractors if possible, finding one to do all or most of the work will keep prices down.Challenges were finding replacement pieces for certain items as manufactured homes were very different than stick built as well as going through state guidelines for affixing the house to the land Hey @David Jesperson, welcome to the BP Forum and congrats on completing your first solo deal AND making a nice profit!

If there's a lot more headache- then I encourage you to implement or improve a Complete Household System, try to get SFR's with 6-11 bedrooms, no more than 3 rooms per 3/4-Full bathroom, and make sure there's one (not more than one) beautiful living room with a big screen TV.

It sounds like you want cash flow and to scale, in this time and most markets you need to find a deal where you can add value. 

In fill lots with no hair on them 9 to 12 months start to finish My 90 lot project about 5 years from dirt to completion.

If you are buying in a more metro area, there will be lots of choices.In our area, we are quite rural and I couldn't guarantee that I would find the resources to do setup completely remotely.

That all sounds good and I'll take a look into that market.

For me, the reports available in Baselane are ideal, but I'm also not trying to run a different business through it like it sounds like you may be doing.
